Aldar and Heroes of Hope: Launching the First Games of Hope to Inspire Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, UAE– Aldar and Heroes of Hope prepare to host a revolutionary event set to redefine the standards of athleticism for individuals of determination.

On Sunday, March 3rd, from 8 to 11 am, the inaugural Games of Hope will take place at Mamsha Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi. This fitness event celebrates the remarkable athletic abilities of People of Determination.

Organized by Heroes of Hope, a non-profit founded by Hollie Murphy, the Games of Hope aim to showcase the athleticism of People of Determination in the UAE.

Since its establishment in 2018, Heroes of Hope has been empowering these athletes to participate in various competitions, such as Grit Games, WODon3, Hyrox, Precision, and Spartan races.

These events, which previously lacked the involvement of People of Determination, provide a platform for these individuals to shine.

As a major supporter of the event, Aldar underscores the importance of creating opportunities for all individuals to thrive and succeed, regardless of their background or abilities.

Through its sponsorship, Aldar shows dedication to fostering a more inclusive and diverse society where everyone has the chance to showcase their talents and achieve their full potential.

“Holding the Games of Hope has been a dream of ours since the inception of Heroes of Hope.

It's not just another event; it's a celebration of resilience, determination, and the incredible spirit of our People of Determination community.

We are immensely grateful to Aldar for their unwavering support and belief in our mission.

Their partnership has been instrumental in making this event a reality, and we look forward to inspiring countless individuals through the Games of Hope.” – Hollie Murphy, Founder of Heroes of Hope.
